Some Timely Hints By L M Bennington
Prune shrubs by learning plant habits and adapt to your views. Note yellow spots on leaves. If grass is xeric, improve soil. Dig and replant sparse areas, then rake clippings back onto turf. For thick privet hedges, hedge by watching new growth. Transplant lighter soil mid summer, keep roots moist. Sow and transplant daisies and foxgloves for next year’s display. Water deeply, fertilize lightly, and start early July cuttings for water flowering plants.
